Riding Uphill
Roughly 20% of accidents happen while riding on hills and as a
result of the ATV rolling or flipping. So, obviously, use extreme
caution and follow this method for riding uphill.
1. Accelerate before you start climbing; then maintain a steady
pace.
2. Lean as far forward as possible. For steeper hills, come off
your seat to stand and lean forward.
3. If you lose speed, quickly release the throttle (so your front
tires don’t lift), OR
4. If that doesn’t work and you still have forward motion and
the terrain permits, do a U-turn, go back down, and try climb-
ing again, OR
5. If you have lost all forward motion, follow the K-turn proce-
dure.
NEVER OPERATE UP OR DOWN HILLS
STEEPER THAN 15°
Sidehilling/Traversing
Sidehilling is considered an advanced skill; it’s really tricky and
unpredictable. So, whether your skills are advanced or not, try to
avoid this kind of riding. If you’re in a situation where you abso-
lutely have to sidehill, follow this method:
1. Keep your speed low and consistent.
2. Shift all your body weight to the uphill side of the seat; also,
support your weight on the uphill footrest.
3. Steer like you’re driving into the hill.
4. If the ATV feels like it’s tipping, turn the handlebar downhill.
If that’s not possible because of the terrain or other conditions
or if it just doesn’t work, stop and get off. Dismount the ATV
on the uphill side.
